Lynx point guard Lindsay Whalen and forward Maya Moore were selected Wednesday to the first team of the All-WNBA team. Teammate Seimone Augustus, a guard, made the second team.

Chicago center Sylvia Fowles had the most votes, earning 167 points in balloting submitted by 39 national media members. Phoenix shooting guard Diana Taurasi, selected to the first team for a record-tying eighth time, had 162 votes. Moore had 161 points, Whalen 143 and Los Angeles forward Candace Parker 119. Parker beat out Moore last week for the league's MVP award.

Whalen averaged 14.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game in leading Minnesota to the best regular-season record in the WNBA for the third consecutive season.

She also was a first-team selection in 2011, when she helped lead Minnesota run to its only WNBA championship, and 2008, when she played for the Connecticut Sun. In '08, Whalen was runner-up to Candace Parker of the Los Angeles Sparks in voting for the league's MVP award. She was a second-team selection last season.

Moore, the 2011 rookie of the year, was a second-team selection last season. She was third in league scoring in 2013, averaging 18.5 points per game.

Augustus, a first-team choice last year, was a second-team honoree in 2006, '07 and '11.
